MATLAB: Fullfile to contain multiply file extension

dirfullfile

Hi,

How can I make that a fullfile contain multiply file extension (CSV, XLS, ODS) so my baseFiles have all the files with these extensions?

This code does not work:

fPattern = fullfile(handles.sourceFolder, '*.csv', '*.xls', '*.ods');
baseFiles = dir(fPattern)

Thanks.

Try:

filePatternCSV = fullfile(handles.sourceFolder, '*.csv'); 
csvFiles = dir(filePatternCSV); 
filePatternXLS = fullfile(handles.sourceFolder, '*.xls'); 
xlsFiles = dir(filePatternXLS);
filePatternODS = fullfile(handles.sourceFolder, '*.ods'); 
odsFiles = dir(filePatternODS);
allFiles= vertcat(csvFiles,xlsFiles,odsFiles);

I'd just use one folder - not myFolder and not sourceFolder. Just pick one and attach it to handles.

function selectSourceButton_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
  sourceFolder = uigetdir();
  set(handles.sourceFolderEdit, 'string', sourceFolder );
  handles.sourceFolder = sourceFolder;
  guidata(hObject, handles);
function startButton_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
if ~isdir(handles.sourceFolder)
  errorMessage = sprintf('Error: The following folder does not exist:\n%s', handles.sourceFolder);
  uiwait(warndlg(errorMessage));
  return;
end
filePattern = fullfile(handles.sourceFolder, '*.jpg');
jpegFiles = dir(filePattern);
for k = 1:length(jpegFiles)
      baseFileName = jpegFiles(k).name;
      fullFileName = fullfile(handles.sourceFolder, baseFileName);
      fprintf(1, 'Now reading %s\n', fullFileName);
      imageArray = imread(fullFileName);
end

MATLAB: Removing a folder from a directory outsaide the current directory of Matlab

You just need to specify the full path of the folder you want to delete to rmdir. If you supply just the folder name, it assumes that folder is in the current directory. You can use fullfile to build the full path of the folder:

parentfolder = 'C:\somewhere\on\the\drive';
foldername = 'deleteme'
rmdir(fullfile(parentfolder, foldername), 's');
